    Nothing. Out of all the 'friends' I had on there, only a handful were ones that are irl mates and I have their numbers. We text occaisionally.

  • I've been toying with giving Age of Sigmar another shot and having been reading through a load of stuff it really feels like AoS is ever so slowly going back to the old WHFB rules, just with round bases and still having silly individual named rules instead of general rule names like Killing Blow etc. Not a bad thing as I found the AoS rules very poor in the past (Thanks to Alan Merricks desire to kill off anything attributed to Rick Priestly).

    Booze, weed and pills although pills were a rarity, weed became habitual and booze was infrequent but overdone when I did.

    Can't kick nicotine it seems though and I don't really care.

    I've found that my enjoyment in gaming started to wain last September and by April this year I completely stopped. I've tried a couple of games I used to really enjoy but get nothing from them. Nothing recently has grabbed me. There are a couple coming that I might try but overall I've switched to watching old shows like Star Trek and X- Files and reading.

    Will see what the new Trek FPS as the story is apparently very good and the upcoming Trek Stellaris type game are like but honestly I'm not holding out much hope.

    I've only reread a couple. Ghost Story by Peter Straub and I am re reading the Malazan series so I can finish the last three books without being too lost.

    Generally I enjoy the experience of reading a new story and rereading I end up a bit bored.

    Episode 4,5 and 6 are great. The Prequels were a mess and visually did not fit, story was dreadful and George should have been shoo'd away.

    The sequels are some of the worst cinema ever, and I have seen Vampire Trailer Park in full as well as the full, uncut version of Pink Flamingos.

  • Has anyone here stopped drinking?

    Yes. 7 years. I stopped because I was a horrendous binge drinker. The first year was the most challenging but after about 18 months I was able to have a non alcoholic beer once in a while to take the edge off. I would say I get the urge maybe once or twice a year now but it's more of a 'Oooh, that would be nice' but I know it's a slippery slope back if I do have one.

    Overall, much happier and I wish I'd stopped sooner but I can't change the past.

    Mine is a rollercoaster of emotions that will hopefully settle soon. And very muggy weather that is leading to some very poor sleep.

    However on the positive side if things I am enjoying my first ever rewatch since the original airing of The X-Files and reading The Shadow of the Gods by John Gwyne and it's really bloody good.

  • What is something simple that you do to decompress and keep yourself centered?

    I take a timed, twenty minute nap. Under the sheets. Undressed. And just let me mind wander wherever it wants. I've found that generally I don't often fall asleep but am just on the cusp when the alarm goes off but I feel more rested from that than when I wake in the morning after a 'full nights sleep'.

    I'm apatheistic when it comes to if there is a god and/or gods and I actively dislike all organised religion. Religion has no place in modern society and causes so much suffering. It's time has been and gone.

    I most definitely agree. I really want my 3.5 back as I do not like wireless ear buds, too damned fiddly and I know I will misplace one. Give me a £20 pair of House of Marley and I am good to go.

    This is an old forgotten gem of a sci fi series from the 90's. Created by a couple of the X-Files writers it was unfortunately cut before a second season could be made. Personally it is one of my favourite series and as it's here on YouTube I'd recommend it to everyone. Premise 'Set in the years 2063–2064, the show focuses on the "Wildcards", members of the United States Marine Corps 58th Squadron of the Space Aviator Cavalry. They are stationed on the space carrier USS Saratoga, acting as both infantry and pilots of SA-43 Endo/Exo-Atmospheric Attack Jet ("Hammerhead") fighters, battling an invading force of extraterrestrials.'

    Unsurprisingly the BBC have coverage of how hot it is and Boris' resignation on the front page rather than this.
